Inventor: DUKE JOHN FREDERICK
Filed: 1911-07-06
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 15,740. Duke, J. F. July 6. Alloys.-An iron-nickel-copper alloy contains also a small amount of aluminium or other deoxidant such as magnesium, sodium, or phosphorus. The iron, nickel, and copper are melted in a crucible, and a small quantity of sodium carbonate and charcoal mav be added in order to introduce sodium into the alloy. Aluminium is added after stirring, a part retnaining in the melt after deoxidation, and tin may finally be added for hardening purposes. The alloy may be used as a substitute for German silver, tin - plate, or steel, and for making kitchen utensils.

Title: Automatic Electric Switch Gear for Operating Locking Appliances for the Doors of Railway Carriages and other Vehicles.
Inventor: KING LOUIS HERBERT
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1911-08-11
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 18,175. King, L. H. Aug. 11. Railway-carriage doors and the like, fastening automatically. - An electric switch turns on current to electric locks when the train axle rotates. The current is fed to rings on a stationary disk SD provided with brushes CB<3>, CB', and passes by way of brushes CB', CB<2> to conducting-rings M<1>, M<2> on an insulating- disk RD fixed to the train axle A. When the train is at rest, the brush lies on a short insulating-segment of the ring M', and no current is sent. When the train begins to move, the brush touches the conducting-part, and as long as rotation continues, intermittent current is sent to a relay provided with a retarding- device to prevent the armature from falling back during the momentary periods of no current. The relay controls the magnet for operating the locks. To ensure that the brush is left on the insulating-segment when the axle ceases to run, an electric motor EM is adapted to drive through reduction gearing a wheel EBG on which the various brushes are mounted, the motor current being cut off as soon as the brush reaches the insulating-segment, and a spring brake being simultaneously applied to the brush-disk. A device operated by a centrifugal governor G may come into action at higher speeds to hold the lock and supersede the switch device.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Isoprene.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C07C5/25
Filed: 1911-08-14
Granted: 1912-09-16
Abstract: 18,356. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 14. Halogenisopentanes; trimethylethylene; dimethylallene; isoprene.-Isoprene is produced by converting isopentane into a monohalogen derivative, removing halogenhydride, converting the resulting trimethylethylene into a dihalogenisopentane, and then removing two molecules of halogenhydride by means of a catalytic agent such as barium chloride or alumina, or by another agent. When a mixture of isoprene with dimethylallene results, the latter compound is converted into isoprene by the catalytic action of alumina or a compound containing it. If pure trimethylethylene does not result from monohalogenisopentane, the admixture may be converted into trimethylethylene by means of alumina or a compound containing it. In an example isopentane is converted into monochlorisopentane by treating a mixture of isopentane vapour and chlorine with rays from a mercury lamp; trimethylethylene is obtained by passing the monochlorisopentane over heated caustic lime, and is then converted by means of bromine into the dibromide, which is then passed over heated barium chloride or alumina under reduced pressure, yielding isoprene. Specification 4189/10 is referred to. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 10,826/11 and 6497/12.

Abstract: 445. Sparkes, G. E., and Storey, J. H. W. July 1. Composite and flat spiral springs; connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.- Relates to shockabsorbers which are arranged between the end of the usual laminated spring and the spring or dumb-iron on the vehicle frame, and in which a spring is arranged between telescoping casings, one of the telescoping parts being slotted to receive a pin carried by the other part. The invention consists in making the spring of a tapered piece of metal coiled into flat spiral form and attached so that the plane of the spring is perpendicular to the direction in which the parts of the casing telescope. Fig. 4 shows a flat spiral A, formed by winding a tapered strip of metal, attached by a bolt E to the interior of a casing B in which slides a casing C. Pins H mounted between lugs F on the casings B, C are attached to the ends of the usual laminated springs and the spring or dumb-iron on the vehicle frame. The pin H on the casing C engages in slots I in lugs G on the casing B so as to allow for the play of the spring and prevent the parts separating if the spring breaks.

Abstract: 22,708. Lant, G., and Lant, J. Oct. 5. Lasts.-A hinged last a, b, Fig. 1, is held in its open position by the end-on engagement of a spring-pressed locking- lever 3 pivoted to the forepart a with a strut lever 1 pivoted to the heel part b, the upward movement of the lever 1 being limited by its engagement with the upper end of a slot 10 in a plate 8 screwed to the forepart. When the two parts a, b are moved to collapse the last, the end of the lever 3 rides along the end of the lever 1 and its spring 7 is compressed until the lever 1 passes in front of the lever 3, into the position shown in Fig. 3; in this position, the underside of the lever 1 engages the lower end of the slot 10. The ends of the levers 1, 3 are preferably shaped to form a wedge, to compensate for wear. Instead of the slotted plate 8, the movements of the lever 1 may be limited by screws or pins ; or a single pin may be arranged to move in a cam-slot formed in the lever itself. To prevent lateral displacement, the contacting faces of the levers 1, 3 may be shaped to engage with each other, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9.

Abstract: 25,246. Richards, O. O., and Birming- ham Patents Syndicate. Nov. 4. Push-bars of the kind so mounted that they can be used at either end of a baby-carriage. The invention is applicable to a folding vehicle and the handle is arranged to fold within the length of the vehicle. In one arrangement, Fig. 1. the ends b of the handle frame a are pivoted to links c which are pivoted at e to the sides of the carriage frame g and are bent as shown at their outer ends d. When at the end shown in Fig. 1, the handle a is held in position by bars f pivoted to the frame g and the links c are held down by catch plates m. Each bar f carries a semicircular metal strip n to receive the handle frame which is locked in position by a pin k or other means. When the handle is to be used at the other end, the bars f are folded against the frame g, the links c are turned over on their pivots e, and the handle frame is received and locked in semicircular strips i similar to the strips n. As a modification, the links c may be dispensed with, the handle frame a being pivoted to the centre of the frame g and being made hinged or telescopic for collapsing within the length of the vehicle.

Abstract: 25,931. Miehle, R., and Miehle, R. F. Nov. 12. Cylinder machines; bed - reciprocating apparatus. - Relates to mechanism for driving the beds and cylinders of cylinder printing- machines, described as applied to a machine of the two-revolution type. The bed 2 carries on the underside a rack-frame 1 having racks 3, 4, which engage alternately with a driving-pinion 5. This pinion carries a pin 8 carrying a roller, which at the end of each stroke, is adapted to engage between the ends 6 of the frame and pivoted gates 7, to effect the reversal of the bed. The pinion 5 is carried on a shaft 9 which is driven by means of a pinion 10 of the same size as the pinion 5 from an internal gear 11 carried by a spur-wheel 12<1> on the shaft 24, driven from the main shaft 13. A wheel 12, bolted to the wheel 12<1>, gears with the impression-cylinder gear 14. The circumference of the impression cylinder is equal to the pitch of the internal gear 11, and both of these make two revolutions to a complete reciprocation of the bed, while the pinion 5 makes three revolutions in the same period. The shaft 9 is mounted adjustably in eccentric bearings 16 in a frame 20<1>, pivoted on a shaft 20 in axial alinement with the shaft 24, which is rocked to bring the pinion 5 alternately into and out of gear with the racks 3, 4 by an arm 17 which carries a roller 18 engaging in a cam-groove 19' in a cam 19, driven by gearing from the wheel 12<1>. At the end of the printing-stroke, the lowering of the shaft 9 and its driving-pinion 10 within the internal driving - gear 11 momentarily accelerates the pinion 5, and causes the bed, which at this point would normally be about to slow down, to continue at a uniform speed, whereby a slightly longer forme can be printed. At the other end of the travel, a corresponding retardation of the driving-pinion 5 takes place.
